Which of the following is the correct formula of borax?
  1. \(\mathrm{Na}_{2}\left[\mathrm{~B}_{4} \mathrm{O}_{5}(\mathrm{OH})_{4}ight] \cdot 2 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}\)
  2. \(\mathrm{Na}_{2}\left[\mathrm{~B}_{4} \mathrm{O}_{5}(\mathrm{OH})_{4}ight] \cdot 4 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}\)
  3. \(\mathrm{Na}_{2}\left[\mathrm{~B}_{4} \mathrm{O}_{5}(\mathrm{OH})_{4}ight] \cdot 6 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}\)
  4. \(\mathrm{Na}_{2}\left[\mathrm{~B}_{4} \mathrm{O}_{5}(\mathrm{OH})_{4}ight] \cdot 8 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}\)
